Maze exclusive toys, which ones? I can't believe I forgot that was a thing.

Thanks for posting about that!

@mastergemma
Plastic Dagger and Straw Bale are the ones I got. From memory there is also the Creepy Clown Mask and there may be others but my memory isn't that great. I assumed they were maze specific being R100 and never seeing them anywhere else, but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

mastergemma • 8 October 2019 at 5:39 AM

@minnie298a
They definitely are only available in the Maze.

I think these may be all of them. I'm not 100% on most of them but I don't know where else I would have gotten them from anyway. Some might have been only available in previous years but I don't know which ones.
(?) Bouncy Brown eye toy
Creepy Clown Mask

@mastergemma
Now you've mentioned it the 2 popcorn items sound familiar. Some of the items you listed are also seed shop prize travels. Flying Squash. the 2 Ferris Wheels, Pooky Face, Red Moon and Ghost Forest jump out with out going and looking. Oh, and the Maize Maze, which isn't to be confused with the food item Maze Maize.

Oh, and the Maize Maze, which isn't to be confused with the food item Maze Maize.

I think that's my new favourite sentence. @minnie298a

i just put in "orangesunbeams" instead of "orange sunbeams" in the travels of terror ☹️ there wasn't a space in the scrambled version... i should have known there was supposed to be ☹️ my guess is that the space ended up on one of the ends.. i think thats a little confusing

@rabbitwanter
Partly because of this, and partly because I'm not the greatest typist and speller, I copy and paste from the Travel thread.


Maize Maze Results - Week 2. I decided to keep this up.
Outlay - 350 seeds
Prizes
3920 ec
233 seeds
16 Items, consisting of:
- 10 plushies, books and candy dispenses I've seen as requested Quest items.
- 2 Prize shop travels (total value of 700 seeds)
- 4 Maze exclusive toys and food.

So for 14 days that totals:
8663 ec
307 seeds
28 items with a rarity of 99 or lower
8 Maze specific items
5 Prize shop travels (with a value of 1900 seeds)

So for a cost of 700 seeds, I have gotten 1900 worth of seeds in prizes and 307 random seeds for a total value of 2207. This means that for the outlay for the month being 1550 seeds (50 X 31 days), I currently have a "profit of 657 seeds. And I'm only half way through.

I asked Doovoo if he was a demon....













He gave me 10 seeds.

wolfspike23 • 20 October 2019 at 12:25 AM

I asked the Ominous Doovoo the question, " Will you take my seeds?"

It said no and took two seeds.

Darn.

Maize Maze Results - Week 3. (Plus I've put the day to day results on my Snerris, Snerrisal - https://eggcave.com/egg/2394680 )
Outlay - 350 seeds
Prizes
6052 ec
217 seeds
14 Items, consisting of:
- 6 plushies, books and candy dispenses I've seen as requested Quest items.
- 2 EC Travels
- 3 Prize shop travels (total value of 1200 seeds)
- 3 Maze exclusive toys and food.

So for 21 days that totals (and an outlay of 1050 seeds):
14715 ec
524 seeds
36 items with a rarity of 99 or lower
11 Maze specific items
8 Prize shop travels (with a value of 3100 seeds)

So that is a total value of 3624 seeds, leaving a "profit" of 2074 seeds, if I play everyday this month.

I asked the Ominous Doovoo if Eggcave would survive and he said Yes, undoubtedly (or something like that) 😊

Also this might be a dumb question but can you participate with side accounts?

minnie298a • 22 October 2019 at 10:49 AM

@chaotictreat

I've gone looking for the specific official comment, but can't find any of them.

However the answer is NO. You can not do anything that gains you items or creatures. You can still feed from your side for ec, but you can not cash in the seeds you receive or play the games.

So I'd suggest you keep most of your activity to your main so you can reap the rewards from the seeds. You can always send any creatures you want over to your side, but you must win them on your main.

chaotictreat • 23 October 2019 at 5:34 AM

@minnie298a Okay, thank you!
I asked the Ominous Doovoo "Are you dumb?"
The Ominous Doovoo says "Yes, perhaps."

redflipflap • 27 October 2019 at 11:40 AM

I love the Halloween event sm ❤️ Its one of my favorites for sure.

Also @ the folks on the top of the leaderboard with like 75k+ seeds- are y'all ok??? XD

tehuti88 • 30 October 2019 at 4:01 PM

When is the final day we can trade in seeds for prizes...?

jello • 30 October 2019 at 11:57 PM

@tehuti88 In both 2017 and 2018, the unspent seeds could be used until the 21st of November.

chaotictreat • 31 October 2019 at 3:39 AM

I said "It's Halloween!"
The Ominous Doovoo said "My sources say no."

minnie298a • 31 October 2019 at 4:24 AM

@jello @tehuti88
Today's site blog confirms it's the 21st.



OK, so after a month of careful note taking and a couple of hours of calculations while answering the door for trick or treaters (I'm in a different time zone, and it may be 4 am on Egg cave but it's 6pm my time), the final tally on the Corn Maze is:

Total Spent - 1550 seeds (31*50)

Prizes
Random EC - 21,198
Random Seeds - 664
Items - 84
Including:
Garast Plushies - 13
Haunlupe Ice Cream - 17
Wiggit Books - 10
Willowisp Candy Dispensers - 7
EC Travels - 3
Maze Maize - 6
Maze Exclusive Items (R100/retired) - 14
Prize Shop Travels - 14 (valued at 5,300 seeds).

I was initially counting the Maze Maize (a food item) as a retired item, but it's actually R99, so I separated it out. The EC travels were Moon on the Move and Batty Day.

So my conclusion is it was worth the gamble *for me*. Others with less time, may not see the value.

If my math is correct, I got 42% of my out lay back just in randomly found seeds. Or you can look at it as getting 342% back in travels. Or 384% back in total seed value. I've seen the plushies, candy dispensers, Wiggit books and Ice Creams come up as requested quest items, so I'll probably end up selling them to add to the random EC. The R100 toys I normally donate to the toy drive. The shop/seed prize travels I have a plan for (if I don't forget) as it only gave me Kinump Patch, Maize Maze, Red Moon and Ghost Forest travels.

Again, the full results are random, may vary player to player and year to year, and can be found on my Snerris, Snerrisal - https://eggcave.com/egg/2394680 .
